Tom Hubbard Sizes 'em Up.

The average rural Republican editor
''takes his pen in hand" and bends
himself to his weekly task impressed
with two broad, comprehensive, and
perfectly absurd assumptions, to-wit:
l. That the Republican party is the
incarnated embodiment, and, as a polit-
ical power, the sublime and glorious
TRANSPORTATION, of all the virtues, graces,
sweetnesses, and beatitudes peculiar
to this life.
2. That the Democratic party, on
the contrary, is legitimate heir, repre-
sentative, personification, exponent, and
propaganda of all that is evil, atrocious,
and pernicious in the Plutonian cata-
logue.
Weighted down in his seat by the
burden of these ponderous assump-
tions, our average r. r. e. aforesaid pro-
ceeds to disgorge his stupidity with
circular gravity upon subjects that he
knows no more about than a frog knows
about red flannel. AS this is the way
these fellows are built, they should not
be visited too roughly by the spirit OF

Would Abolish the Oath in Law.

Said a prominent lawyer the other
day: 1.-THE oath in law should, think,
be abolished. 1t has retained its place
upon the theory that it tends to secure
the telling of the truth, but it does not.
[ have been for thirty years constantly
about courts of law, and l unhesitat-
ingly say THAT any person conscien-
tious enough to regard an oath will
tell the truth without one, and for
those who may be restrained by the
fear of punishment for perjury the
statutes can be so amended as to make
lying upon the witness stand on the
subscription of false affidavits in legal
proceedings punishable by the same
penalties now attached to perjury.
During the thirty years that I have
named I have carefully watched the
course of legal morality, and tell you
that perjury becomes daily more COM
mon and the oath lighter and more
prefunctory. The clerk draws out the
form of oath without pause or pune
tuation. The witness, with falsehood
deliberate and rehearsed in his heart,
drops his right hand, takes the stand,
the lie comes glibly to his lips, and
some mans property, reputation or
liberty are sworn away for dollars and
for grudge. The inconsiderate pro-
family of the angry or drunken man is
harmless when compared with the in
dolent Indifference with which officers
administer and the black perjury with
which witnesses take the oath. If we
cannot make lying in judicial proceed
ings less, let US at least make it more
decent and less profane. ."-Detro& Free

HowMany Eggs for Sitting.

The North Dakota Farmer says:
ut is customary to give hen thir-
teen eggs and but little consideration is
given to her size or the nest and its sur
roundings. The heat impaired to the
eggs by the hen does not come from the
warm air in the feathers, but by direct
contact with the body. 1t is not suffi-
cient that the eggs be kept warm
enough to prevent being chilled for they
must receive heat equivalent to 130 de.
gree large portion of the time, A her
should never be given more eggs thar
her naked body will come in contact
with, and hence the smaller the her
the fewer the eggs she should have. 1
the weather be cold, and too many egg
be given her, the frequent changing D
their positions will cause the whole lol
to be alternately chilled, and the
number of chicks Matched will be larger
from small number of eggs than from
full sitting. If the weather is mod
crate, the nest in a warm place, and the
hen is in a good condition, the pro-.
poets for a good hatch will of course
be more favorable, but it is best not to
rely on large number of eggs in nest

A Big Presidential Card.
IFrom Columbus DisI atch, Iud. Rsp.l


President Cleveland's letter to Secre-
tary Lamar in the Guilford Miller case
bids fair 10 be big Presidential card in
1883. The President has struck very
tender and not in the least an unre-
sponsive chord in the popular heart.
He has befriended poor man in his
struggle to keep his humble little home
out Of the clutches of "A powerful and
grasping corporation. 1t is enough. Mr..
Cleveland is now not merely Mr.. Gull
ford Miller's friend and protector, he is
the friend and protector Ofthe poor man
everywhere. He has taken his stand
by the poor mans side, and said in
stern accents to the conscienceless grab
oft!n
This is undoubtedly the most popular
act of Mr.. Cleveland's administration.
Without any question it will give him
immense strength as candidate in
1888. The interview with Mr.. Powder
ly in the New York Herald of Saturday,
was exceedingly significant. Mr.. Pow
derly is not only sensible, clear-head-
ed and conservative man, but he speaks
for million and q half of Knights of
Labor. And what does Mr.. Powderly
say of the Presidents letter? He saws
it is generous, bold and patriotic. ~
When asked if the knights of Labor
were in sympathy with Mr.. Cleveland
in this matter, he replied: Entirely
so. We shall to man support any Ad-
ministration which enters earnestly up
on land reform, and stands by it until
the last gun is fired" "This is only the
beginning" continues Mr.. Powderly.
Mr.. Cleveland is not the man to stop
there, or, if he does, we shall vote for a
candidate who will go ahead with this
great work."
These are strong expressions, and full
of meaning. They must be borne in
mind by those who are engaged in Pres
idential calculations. Mr.. Powderly
considers the question of land reform
to be the momentous question ofthe
day, and declares that the attitude ta-
ken towards it by the various Presiden-
tial candidates next year, will be a very
important factor in the campaign.
With the action of President Cleveland
viewed in this enthusiastically favora-
BILE light by the leader of the greatest
labor order in the Union, the present
Administration has been given q. most
valuable prestige.

DEATH OF JUSTICE WOODS.
His Remains viii Be Brought TO
Ohio.

WASHINGTON, May 14.-Justice Will
liam B. Woods, of the Supreme Court
of the United States, died at his resi-
denee In this city at 1910 p. m. to-day.
1t Is understood to be the desire OF
Justice Woods family to have him
buried In Ohio, where he was born
The funeral arrangements have not
been made as yet.
Justice William B. Woods home
prior to the war was at Newark. He
represented Licking county in the
State Legislature and was chosen
Speaker of the House. He served in
the army during the war and was ap-
pointed to United States district judg-
ship in the South after the war and
was subsequently appointed to the
United States Supreme court BENCH
Judge Woods was one of the most bril-
liant of Ohio's young Democrats in 1886
and was universally popular on the
| bench. 1t is seldom that a man is
found who possesses in so high de-
gree those elements of character which
are essential to popularity.

States Supreme court assembled at
uOOu LO-udys lue OllIeI JuSIlC0 all
nounced the death of Mr.. Justice
Woods, whose chair was draped in
black, and said that as mark ofrespect
to the memory of the deceased, the

when motions would be heard and a
later date fixed for the courts final adj

Most of the Justices will go to Ohio to
attend Justice Woods funeral.

The Party OF High Taxes.

From their exposed and fragile glass
house the Republicans are throwing
stones with great glee at the Democrats
for the inability of the latter to agree
upon revenue policy. But could there
be a more marked disagreement than
exists among the leading Republicans
upon this question.
Mr.. Blaine's plan for treating the
surplus, as formulated by him in a let
ter to the Pennsylvania Republicans,
whose monopolies are the chief benefi-
ciaries of the system of prolonged war
taxes, was to distribute the excess
among the States. Under this pater-
nal plan Maine, which pays very
small proportion of the Federal taxes,
would receive a bonus that would re-
lieve her of the need of any State taxa
tion.
Senator Sherman's plan, as pro-
claimed recently at the South, is to
spend the surplus on national works, "
and let the war taxes go on forever.
And now Senator HOar comes forward
with combination scheme of his own.
Mr.. Sherman's idea is that the people
love to be taxed unnessarily, and that
there is thrift in the policy of taking
money out of one pocket for the pur-
pose of letting it filter back to the other
through the hands of collectors and
other tax-eaters. But Mr.. Hoar admits
that the present system "takes from
the people money which should not be
taken from them, and keeps from Cir
cuIation money which the people
should be using" He would remedy
the evil by Diminishing taxation, "and
depending on necessary public Oh
jects" the existing surplus. But he is
careful to explain that he would dis
turb no taxes the imposition of which
enables an American producer to get
more for his product han it is worth.
Yet while the Republican leaders are
thus divided, their party in Congress
has maintained for two sessions q solid
front against even considering the re-
duction of taxes and in favor of the
reckless extravagant appropriations. 1t
is iron-clad Bourbenish in its adherence
in the theory that nation can be taxed
into prosperity.--N Y. World.
